The searing Pulitzer Prize winning classic that redefined the American theatre nearly sixty years ago returns in a rare Los Angeles production. Hypocrisy, greed, and secret passions threaten to tear apart a wealthy Mississippi family on the evening of Big Daddy's birthday. Maggie, 'the Cat' is desperate to provide her in-laws an heir to the sprawling plantation, and will stop at nothing to break through her husband Brick's inner ghosts, and the 'mendacity' that haunts him.
